Have you heard of HipVan? Amongst the few Facebook ads I allow on my feed, HipVan is one of them. Here’s why.

For the pool of us always on the lookout for unique furnitures, HipVan cuts the chase and curates great pieces, many of which are really affordable.

If you are not familiar, HipVan is an online store for great designs in furniture, home & living, kitchen & entertaining, and much more.

For those of us with a tighter wallet, both the online site and recently release mobile platform is just great to browse around. Nothing beats looking through fun designs that are brought to life through functional furnitures and decor.

Perhaps a lesser known fact is that local celebrity, Jade Seah, is one of HipVan’s early investors. Now we wonder, who is behind all of this?

Meet Danny.

Previously known for starting up Foound which was touted the ‘Foursquare of the future‘ in 2010, Danny also proceeded to join multinational company, Rocket Internet. These days, he is busy with the steady growth of HipVan alongside their recent round of seed funding.

Today, Danny shares the apps that are part of his lifestyle as the co-founder of HipVan.
